i was a big fan of the Zony 35/1.4 - at or near wide open, with the right subj distance (and a central subj) it is beautiful. @ f/5.6 it's also good for city/landscapes.
but i think the first question you need to answer is foc len b/c 50 vs 35 is a big diff. through trial and error, i found a 25/50 combo works much better for me than 35/85.
also, even though it's well corrected, sharp and flat field, the zony 50/1.4 really renders quite nicely - I've migrated my files to google and can't post directly, so here's an album of Zony 50/1.4 samples if you want to review:

In the few there the bokeh is a tad harsh/nervous, i had forgotten to turn off EFCS.
I just find the Batis 25 and Zony 50 to be far more versatile than the 35/1.4 - but it all depends on your intended use....Show more →
Much appreciated. Yeah my main focal lengths are 50 and 85 I am opening up to 35 for weddings and portraits that encompass more environment. 25 is a bit too wide for what I shoot. I don't like to shoot things if I can't talk to it :P
The 50 1.4 def looks great minus the weight. But the bokeh and smooth falloff is better imo than the 55 1.8.
I ended up ordering a Samyung 35 1.4 for the time being, because I feel as though it has better across the frame sharpness which is good for portraits utilizing the 3rds of the lens while getting that nice falloff. It does look a little busy with the Bokeh in some situations but in others it looks identical to the Zony to me. My reasoning behind the purchase was needing a 35 mm now and kinda hoping sony will release a version 2 of the 35 1.4 so I can deal with a slightly "more" nervous bokeh until then for 699 versus 1400 and being that 35 mm is not my go to focal length. But trying to get out of my comfort zone for sure, while also not having to buy, return, buy return.
My only big worry about the Sammy is the chromatic aberrations. which seem to be more than the zeiss.
